18.55. Risks of Stock Index Options

The Investment Compartments may purchase and sell call and put options on both securities and stock indices. A stock index measures the movement of a certain group of stocks by assigning relative values to the common stocks included in the index. The effectiveness of purchasing or selling stock index options as a hedging technique will depend upon the extent to which price movements in assets that are hedged correlate with price movements of the stock index selected.
